I have absolutely zero confidence in the American populace to do the right thing, should their government decide to invade us. They are allowing their own government to dismantle their democracy. Why would they suddenly jump to action because they start a war with Canada?

    Imagine handing your country to fascists because you're too much of a little bitch to engage in your own democracy. I feel so lucky to be able to vote in my country. It's my responsibility and I am privileged to have it. It was earned by the blood of MILLIONS.

    As someone who works in medicine the idea of allowing someone with something like TRD to access MAID is totally antithetical to what medicine is about and I'd be very suspicious of any doctor who does anything but argue against it. The Hippocratic oath basically forbids an MD from assisting someone with a treatable illness to kill themselves.

    Kind of goes against the entire point of medicine and being a doctor if you just make it part of the field to facilitate people killing themselves for any reason they want to. MAID exists for a reason. People who want to kill themselves because of mental illness are sick and the therapy is not to let them do it. It is different when people are in pain and actively dying.
